The 23-year-old Finnish forward had been with Fulham since 2018, featuring from the U18s up to the U23s, but never broke into the first team. He spent loan spells at AFC Wimbledon, Carlisle United, and most recently Partick Thistle last season.

A Fresh Start At Cheltenham

Joining Cheltenham in League Two could provide Ablade with the fresh start he needs to kick-start his career. At just 23, Cheltenham will be his sixth club as he looks to settle in and prove himself.

Cheltenham currently sit at the bottom of League Two, winless in six games, and could use a forward boost to help turn around their disappointing start to the 2025/26 campaign.

Last season in Scotland, Ablade made 24 appearances for Partick Thistle, recording two goals and two assists. With over 500 minutes of League One experience, adapting to League Two should not be an issue for the striker.
